I’m really liking Iowa state, but unfortunately it’s so far from home. How can I beg my mom to let me go there?
Penn state where I’m 6 hours away from my home is my number one.
Should I apply to both and see which one gives me more aid? I’m on my second semester at cc
I’m going to be a meteorology major and I’ve never even heard of Iowa State having meteorology, no offense. Penn State is number one for meteorology in the country!
However, Penn State gives little aid. You’re probably better off getting money from Iowa State.
If you’re going from CC, you’re not going to get much aid anyway since you’d probably be classified as a transfer. For meteorology, a field I was once thinking about getting into, Penn State is the best. Apply to both and see where you get in/who gives the best aid.
Iowa state is a good program if you want to chase tornadoes. I’m a math math at cc. My goal is to double major math and meteorology. I’m going to visit penn state this summer! Hopefully I may see you
Apply to both AND other ones. If you need financial aid, keep in mind that transfers get lousy aid. At Penn State, CC applications are processed after branch campus “transfers” and it’s the number 1 program in the country so anyone’s odds are low (I hope you have straight A’s and have good ECs related to your field of study). If you’re OOS to Iowa, you’re likely to have to pay the full 40K, without any financial aid. So, you need to find other programs to which to apply - applying to two programs only is a recipe for a shut out.
